- Eric Forrester: Ridge, my older son, thought the line lacked sensuality, excitement.
- Margo Lynley: Why do you put up with him, Eric?
- Eric Forrester: Because he's my son.
- Margo Lynley: You have another son.
- Eric Forrester: I never forget that.
- Margo Lynley: I just hate seeing Ridge hurt you like that. I despise him for it.
- Eric Forrester: You're very loyal, Margo.
- Margo Lynley: I care about you.
- Eric Forrester: May I ask you a very honest question?
- Stephanie Forrester: Of course. Any time. About anything.
- Eric Forrester: Do you get anything out of this marriage? Anything at all?
- Stephanie Forrester: Well, the fact that you asked that question supposes that you don't.
- Eric Forrester: I asked for an honest answer. Don't you feel it, too? Apathy. That malaise.
- Stephanie Forrester: Are you trying to tell me that's what you feel in bed? Because if you are, I don't believe that. I'm there, too, Eric. Remember?
- Eric Forrester: Well, then I'm a man and you're a woman, Stephanie. The word for that is "need"... Look, I'm not trying to hurt you.
- Stephanie Forrester: Oh, this is all under the guise of honesty.
- Eric Forrester: I'm looking for answers.
- Stephanie Forrester: Who is she? Of course. Margo. Your wonderful right arm. Or whatever appendage she is.
- Eric Forrester: There is no other woman, Stephanie.
- Stephanie Forrester: Margo adores you. She'd do absolutely anything for you. Anything. Now, you're not blind to that.
- Eric Forrester: I repeat: there is no other woman.
- Stephanie Forrester: What are these answers that we're looking for?
- Eric Forrester: As simple and as complicated as a marriage gone stale.
- Stephanie Forrester: Eric...
- Eric Forrester: And what do we do about it?
- [last lines]
- Ridge Forrester: Thank you, but I know Caroline's very excited to tell her father about the wedding. And I know I'm very anxious to see his reaction. Very anxious.
